Major Refinery Going OFFLINE; Northeast US to Be Hit - Especially Home Heating Oil and Diesel Fuel

If you live in the Northeast US and use HO (heating oil) or diesel (also gasoline/jet), know this:

1) Regional distillate (diesel/HO) inventories are at their lowest seasonal record ever. 

2) A huge refinery that supplies the Northeastern USAE (Irving Oil, Saint John) is undergoing a major turnaround Sept-Nov

3) Price impacts are likely to all fuels, but especially heavies like Home Heating Oil and Diesel Fuel.

Shortages are likely.

I have previously warned readers of this website and listeners to my radio show, to call their local Home Heating Oil supplier and get their oil tank topped-off.   That warning is now more urgent since a major supply source in the Northeast is going Offline for months.
